Winter had a store with post office, an elevator, a GTPR station, a lumber yard and a school that closed in 1968.

Initially it began as a small section and siding along the Grand Trunk Railway.

[2] Mr. Mansel Cole operated the first store and post office after 1910 and served people from Winter and the surrounding districts.

The first grain elevator was built in 1920 and several businesses followed in years to come, including a lumber yard.

The school closed in 1968 and all the remaining students were bussed to the neighbouring community of Senlac.
